This would fail horribly if the machine has all RAM used but there is
plenty in buffers that should be freed.

I guess that we should really add tst_available_ram() function that
would print either MemAvailable or sum of MemFree + MemCached. And of
course we shouldn't eat more than half of that in the tests.

I guess that we should as well skip the tmpfs completely if we think
that the size is too small as well.
